Charles H. Joo, known to his family, friends and players as “Coach Charlie”, passed away November 13, 2022. Born April 15, 1971, in South Korea, he was the son of Hui and Kathy Song Joo.
Charlie graduated from the University of Virginia and received his master’s in Organic Chemistry from University of Illinois -Chicago. He later worked as an Investment Broker in the financial industry for over 20 years.

He was very active at GMBL for the past decade, coaching many of the Rec Teams, and the Manassas Blue & Gray Softball to a World Series win. You often found Charlie at 6-4-3, giving hitting lessons to his current, and many of his former players looking to improve their skills.
Coach Charlie is survived by his mother and father, Hui and Kathy Joo; one sister, Helen Joo and her husband Jay Lamboy; two nieces, Jayla and Kayli “KK” Lamboy; and a host of friends thru his softball community.
